Some thoughts: When good treatments don't fix a labeled problem I always consider the label may be wrong. It may be worthwhile to explore other possibilities with the doc or a dermatologist. Itching & allergic reaction to scabies is primarily to the poop they deposit under the skin. It can/does recur but this could be something else.
